— If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

Another awkward pause happened right after, and as she looked from her dice set (one she had borrowed from Eddie) to Gareth's, she tilted her head, but didn't reach for it.
" . . . Your die is pretty--cool, I mean. Where did you get those?"
The pause between Gareth's sentences seemed to drag on for ages, but Eleven was getting used to awkward silences. She was a lot better at talking with people now, yes, but each person was a new experience, and until she learned how to read Gareth, she was afraid it would be just as awkward each +

This was the most she had spoken to anyone who wasn't Mike or Will in . . . well, almost a year.
A few blinks was the immediate response, El glancing up at Gareth(?). She was unaware of the small smile that was pulling at her lips at his comment, though, eyes falling down to her hands as she spoke once more.
"Well, my brother was the DM for his group, so maybe he just did not want me in his +

She dared a glance up to his eyes, but quickly moved them back to his dice, hands folded in her lap with her arms tucked tightly at her sides.
This was . . . not going well.
Panic was already starting to set in. It was obvious to her that he didn't believe her, despite her having ACTUALLY lived in California for a year, but as he rolled his dice, her eyes followed it back and forth, rather than make eye contact with him.
"Well, my brother plays it, but his party was +

A shy smile was offered his way, her voice unusually quiet for the girl. These were Eddie's friends, after all, and she didn't want to cause any problems after he tried to help her out.

She hated saying California was her home, but it was something she had learned she could give +

It only seemed to upset him, though, and as she watched him sit down, she hesitated before finally joining him as he pulled something out of his pocket. She recognized it from Will's room, and shaking her head, she reached out to hold it -- if he would let +
+ more and more about how the 'normal' world worked, she realized that being different wasn't necessarily a bad thing. It was what made people unique, and she had come to accept her powers as one of those things. Eddie had always been different from what she had understood, so she thought he would +
It had taken Eleven a long time to accept herself as different. At first, only Mike and Dustin had called her a 'superhero', and everyone else in Hawkins who knew her had called her a freak. It had even taken Lucas a while to come around to the idea of her abilities. However, as she had learned +

Eddie's words caught her attention, though, eyes flickering between the two briefly. She didn't think he was dangerous to her at the moment, but . . .
"Wrong." Pointing to him, then to herself, a small smile tugged at her lips once again. "There are two monsters here tonight."
+ it briefly. Something had gone through since the last time she had been there, but if it had been a Demogorgon, they would've found it by now. They were loud, violent, and fast, and considering nothing of the sort had been reported, she chose to believe it was nothing more than someone getting +

Once at the gate, however, her attention was diverted, smile fading slightly as she took her hand back from the vampire. He was right about the film showing it was still closed, but it felt thinner, her eyes narrowing on +
El had often heard how different her dad was from the other cops, but she had never heard it in a positive light. She heard that he overstepped, that he abused his title, but hearing Eddie talk about Hopper was enough to bring a smile to her face. He was one of her favorite topics, and a much +

Taking his hand, she tilted her head slightly, ignoring the swimming question in favor of asking her own as a memory came to mind.
"Did her dad not like you, either?"
+ friend back in California, either, so the idea that she was trying to make friends with Eddie was not one that she had even thought about before running into him. She was convinced that if he wanted to talk to her, he would find her at Mike's house or with Hopper.
Now, here he was, offering to +
El had never been good at making friends. In fact, she was still convinced that the only reason Mike and the others had accepted her into their little group was because she was a girl who was talking to them, and even Lucas had been reluctant to accept her. She hadn't been able to make a single +
+ Eddie, so as he offered an olive branch, a small smile tugged at her lips. Dustin talked about Eddie a lot, so maybe now she would get to see what he saw in him.
Nodding, she started after the metal head without a word, careful of any branches she might step on.
